Method Detail

serve

public NanoHTTPD.Response serve(java.lang.String uri,
                                java.lang.String method,
                                java.util.Properties header,
                                java.util.Properties parms)

Override this to customize the server.

(By default, this delegates to serveFile() and allows directory listing.)

Parameters:

uri - Percent-decoded URI without parameters, for example "/index.cgi"

method - "GET", "POST" etc.

parms - Parsed, percent decoded parameters from URI and, in case of POST, data.

header - Header entries, percent decoded

Returns:

HTTP response, see class Response for details

stop

public void stop()

Stops the server.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Starts as a standalone file server and waits for Enter.

serveFile

public NanoHTTPD.Response serveFile(java.lang.String uri,
                                    java.util.Properties header,
                                    java.io.File homeDir,
                                    boolean allowDirectoryListing)

Serves file from homeDir and its' subdirectories (only). Uses only URI, ignores all headers and HTTP parameters.
